Mainly because of other Atlassian products that can easily cooperate with it. Of course, GitHub also has this type of service for Extensions and Third-party apps integrations, however, Bitbucket is more powerful in this area. On the other hand, the Atlassian Marketplace is a huge advantage of the competition. There is also a desktop client on the GitHub side, which can be a big advantage for many people. In the case of Open Source projects, GitHub offers unlimited public repos for free, while Bitbucket rather targets corporate and private repos clients. In addition, GitHub offers GitHub Pages and GitHub Gist services, which can also influence our decision. What does it look like on the GitHub side? Here, direct integration occurs with services such as Azure, Google Cloud, Amazon, or Heroku. What are their pros and cons? I mentioned above the platforms with which Bitbucket easily integrates. Let’s go over the differences between the two services in detail. What’s next? Bitbucket and GitHub: the differences Anyway, we made a decision that we want to perform such a migration. There can be many reasons, even the GUI will suit us more on a different platform, or we just want to change something in the course of learning and our own development, although this reason applies more to individual users, not enterprises. For example, Bitbucket integrates directly with Jira, Bamboo, Crucible and Jenkins.
The reason may also be other software that we want to use in our company. The number of available private or public repositories may also be of key importance to us and migration to another platform may be more profitable. Sometimes it’s a question of price or license limitations. There can be many reasons, either subjective or objective. Let’s start by answering the question “why?”.
We’ll focus on how to migrate from Bitbucket to GitHub later. Most common causes of Bitbucket to GitHub repo transfer
In our case, the change means to change the hosting service on which we keep our repository.
Well, I won’t go into philosophy any further, but this introduction is not accidental. Nothing disappears and nothing appears, everything just changes. It is attributed to Heraclitus of Ephesus, the Greek philosopher who claimed that everything was constantly changing and that this is the nature of the universe. This seemingly banal phrase has been known to mankind for about 2500 years.
